STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — For his dedication to the legal profession and the justice system — and for his service to community, the Staten Island Trial Lawyers Association will honor state Supreme Court Justice John A. Fusco at their annual dinner set for Thursday in the Excelsior Grand, New Dorp.

Fusco was appointed as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York in December 2007. He was previously elected Surrogate of Richmond County in November 1998 and continued to serve in that capacity until his state appointment.

Previous to the position of surrogate, he served as a member of the City Council from January 1991.

A Staten Island native, Fusco is a St. Peter’s Boys High School alum and earned a bachelor of science degree from St. Peter’s College. He also was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the U.S. Army.
